The Light Meets The Dark (Shihai Kuroiro X Kinoko Komori)

Chapter 17: Lovers Reunited

Kuroiro lifted his upper body forward and swung his legs over the bed. Komori put down the flowers she had brought him and rushed towards her boyfriend with tears in her eyes and open arms. Kuroiro did the same. Once they connected, she jumped into his arms and wrapped her arms around him for the first time since he disappeared. At that moment, time had suddenly stopped. Two Lovers who had been separated were finally back together and right back in each other's arms, both safe and sound. To them, their presence was the only heaven either of them ever needed. And at this moment, forever finally began to exist once more.  Komori grabbed Kuroiro's shirt and pulled him into a kiss. But Kuroiro noticed that she was different, more... aggressive. No, that's not the word. Passionate. Komori wrapped her arms around the back of his neck so he wouldn't pull back. But Kuroiro didn't want to pull back. He wanted to stay in this moment forever. Their kiss lasted for several minutes before they broke it to make eye contact with one another. There was a brief moment of silence while the two scrutinized each other's faces.

Komori: I missed you so much. Words alone can't describe how happy I am you're alive.

Kuroiro: I missed you too Komori. I'm- I'm very thankful to be alive right now. And I'm very thankful to be back. 

Komori: Sensei told us that you took on your uncle Kurogiri along with Two other League of Villans members all by yourself?

Kuroiro nodded his head. Komori kissed him once more.

Komori: You must have been so scared. Why did you do that?

Kuroiro placed Komori back on the ground. He turned around and walked back to his Hospital bed. He sat down on his bed and made the hand motion for Komori to come and sit down as well. She was perplexed but complied. She hopped on the bed and sat down next to her boyfriend. The first thing she noticed was his palms were shaking vigorously. She quickly grabbed them to try and comfort her boyfriend but noticed immediately that his palms were sweaty.

Komori: Babe, are you alrig-

Komori was immediately cut off by Kuroiro. 

Kuroiro: When I escaped from captivity, I ran near downtown, into a local noodle shop. There was no one else inside besides myself and the clerk as it was after hours and they were just about to close for the night. The man at the counter immediately recognized me as the missing student from UA High School. He told me he had seen the news report. I quickly told him I had just escaped captivity and had no idea where I was. He then told me to go hide in the back while he called the Police. As I ran in the back, he handed me a number for the nearest hero agency so the authorities would have backup against my uncle and the league. I ran back to the office and got on the phone with a local hero agency in the area. I identified myself as Shihai Kuroiro, the missing student from UA, and gave them my location. The receptionist on the phone told me they would alert not just theirs, but all the other local hero agencies in the area, along with UA High School. After I had hung up, I got up from the chair and was about to exit the room That is, until the clerk came back and issued me to hide and stay quiet.

Komori: Why?

Kuroiro: My uncle and Two members of the League of Villians came into the shop. As soon as he saw them walking by, he ran into the back as quickly as he could to warn me. Once he got back in front, they entered the shop and asked him if he had seen a person with my appearance wandering around here. The clerk being the good samaritan he was, tried to mislead them to buy time for the authorities and the heroes to arrive on site. He tried to ask for names and had told them that he thought he saw someone who looked like me running towards the downtown area, screaming for help. My Uncle seemed to have bought it at first, so I was relieved. However, not to my surprise, my uncle saw through his lies.
